Day 3 - August 22
Whether or not we made it to MK EMH last night will determine what we do today. This could be the one day we don't make a RD! If we're out at MK till 2am there's no way we'll be going back there first thing in the morning. So here are some options:
We DON'T go to EMH at MK the night before:
-If he head back to POP after Illuminations and get to bed early, we'll go to MK in the morning for RD.
We DO go to EMH at MK the night before:
-We sleep in and BF will be doing a happy dance!
Whenever we do wake up we could go anywhere! We'll have just come off two days of MK and Epcot, however those are again the most recommended parks to visit (by TP and EasyWDW). HS and AK both have EMH so they will be a little more crowded but that's okay with me. It would be like a bonus day at one of those parks anyway since we'll be going back for another full day at both later in the trip. We could also go to DTD for the afternoon. I think I'll leave that choice to BF when we're actually there and see what he wants to do.
So about the EMH, AK is in the morning so we definitely wouldn't be hitting that but HS has them at night so if we sleep in, we could head over there after dinner and maybe get in a few rides on ToT and RNRC. I would love to do that but there are so few headlining rides open at nighttime EMH (unlike MK) that I feel like the wait times may not be short enough for it to be worth it - especially when we're planning to spend the day there tomorrow anyway. But again, we'll see! I'm sure I'll be consulting the Lines app on my phone to help us make a game-time decision on this issue.
So now let me rewind a few hours and talk about dinner. When I booked ADRs in February, I was planning to be in MK this day so we have dinner at Whispering Canyon Cafe at 6:10. This morning I decided to see what other times were available for dinner and found an 8:30 was available so I booked that as well. My thinking was, maybe we'll go to AK in the afternoon until it closes at 6 since wait times can be pretty low at the very end of the day. Then we could still go to HS EMH after dinner if we wanted.
Then I also thought...if we eat dinner later, maybe we can hop over to the Poly afterwards and watch Wishes from the beach which I've never done.
Hmmm, I think this post ended up as more of a ramble of ideas than a plan, which I guess is really what it is since we don't actually have a set plan yet. Oh well, I guess I can deal with just winging it for one day!
........maybe...
P.S. Don't worry, I will be canceling one of the WCC ADRs so someone else can take it!

Yes, he rolled his eyes at me! 
) He said he was kidding (although I don't think he was - I think he just felt bad that I got upset) and wanted to talk about the trip. He specifically asked if we could discuss what we were doing on our first day because he wanted to be prepared (what a suck-up, right? 
He says he can handle it but he has no idea how tired he's going to be! I suppose we could skip MSEP/Wishes if we're really too tired but I think we'll be able to make it. I think we'll be taking breaks most other days. Especially if the heat is unbearable. 
If that fails, I'll just use my birthday (which is tomorrow) and tell him that he has no choice but to talk Disney with me or he'll upset me on my bday! 
Hmmm...should I feel guilty about that?
Maybe if you're able to, get there like 20 minutes before to see if they have any early openings so you don't feel like you have to rush through dinner to try to make any of your activities?
With the balloons was a note:
BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Happy Birthday!
